This is really good. A clearly written summary of the many harms caused by AI, with copious references.

I know almost all politicians lie and scheme and are in it for themselves. This is true in Canada as well. But the people elected in the USA don't even try to pretend to care about actually helping people

I'm reading the pitcher betting scandal stuff. You can bet if a pitch will be a certain speed? This is bullshit

Am I cynical to say they're doing the vote during football so people don't notice the details?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It really sucks that the party in power is perfectly willing to ruin lives and let people starve to get what they want. You almost have to give them what they want because otherwise they'll make people suffer even more

Every sports show is just betting now

I'm not saying "let people suffer for political points", I'm saying that if you're going to make a deal, it should provide some guarantees that more people won't continue to suffer. Otherwise, what was the point of all the suffering?

The amount of snow is hilarious

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

"Man, everyone hates this guy and what he's doing. We'd better give him what he wants." And literally everyone does it. Every party, every organization, every country.

It's snowing SO MUCH

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

You can probably bet on how many times a pitcher licks his fingers in an inning so I'm not surprised you can bet on certain pitches. All of this online gambling is ruining sports, and some lives. Young men spend insane $ on this crap and will end up fighting the addiction the rest of their lives.

The Pens other goalie should be named "Fleuashov"

I 100% know why this was written like this, but "appearing to close his eyes" is hilarious

Every single person, party, and country caves to Donald Trump. It's disgusting that his overall shitty way of doing things gets results

Here comes the cave....

Obviously they shouldn't be involved in stuff like this, but, also, you shouldn't be allowed to bet on whether a pitcher throws a ball

IT'S SNOWING!!!

Ric Flair!? No. Bad move, AEW

That Minten goal is the universe punishing me for deciding to watch this game. Of course I should have known better.

A bizarre bounce keeping Toronto from tying it up? 😭

The NHL remains a joke of a league

Not only is Tavares a Maple Leaf but he's on one of the best contracts in the NHL. What a stud.

Well that's just an elbow to the face...

Hockey Night in Canada keeps showing the replays you don't want to see. After the disputed Boston goal, they showed replays of several other shots. After Hildeby's mask coming off, they showed several Leafs chances for no reason

Pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday February 10, 2026

Okay, that was a nice move

I think it's a goal, but I don't think they can prove it

It's still a giant Ozempic ad

ok one more

Having 300 betting ads, then two ads for responsible gambling, then 300 other betting ads doesn't feel right...

I just got emotional over a Rogers ad for the Blue Jays....

Why am I watching the Leafs?

This is my first time watching Hockey Night in Canada this year. Why is the Rogers panel for hockey SO MUCH WORSE than the Rogers panel for baseball?

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

I miss the Jays. My kid wants to watch the Leafs tonight and it is definitely not the same.

Remember when everyone talked about what a shit hole the SkyDome was and team management itself couldn't stop saying they wanted to tear it down? And now they renovated it and the team is good and it rules? That's my only point: SkyDome rules. Keep it forever.

12 years ago I was told it was "Hockey Mecca"

Their answer to everything is "the free market will solve it."

Remember this when tech companies want to "open up" the financial sector in Canada, or when people get upset that Venmo or CashApp aren't in Canada. Canada having only a handful of banks is helping us, in most cases. You don't need an app to send money because we have Interac, etc

Chopping down the rainforest to build a highway for a climate summit....

Damn. Remember how happy we were five years ago? People literally danced in the streets...

To anyone who follows like 2000+ plus accounts on here, how is that manageable?

I've done a weekly AEW Podcast for four years and people still jump out to say I'm not a real fan (other people also jump out to say I suck up to Tony Khan too much, so whatever)

I'm talking about wrestling with @blasko4life.bsky.social again!

Where's the war?

Okay, this seems pretty cool
